Showing improved brightness this vintage and solid structure. It is a quite lovely, mid-weight, balanced pinot noir...

A ripe and generous, west coast style pinot noir, well within the regional context. Wood is a significant flavour...

This is a very typical Californian pinot, soft and fragrant with the ripe cherry and raspberry fruit aromas nicely...

Big expression of Pinot Noir in high octane sweetness. Highly contested fruit to acidity tug with typical rusty,...

Cedary oak notes, with very ripe black cherry. Warm climate, oaked style. Full bodied, a bit syrupy for Pinot Noir....

Typical warm weather pinot noir from Sonoma. Shows the cassis, blackberry and chocolate notes, and slight acid bite...

A touch sweet, creamy and heavy Pinot

Description: Medium light garnet to ruby in colour with a medium to medium+ intense nose. This wine features cedar, cherry pie, plum, rhubarb, dates and vanilla. Full body with low tannings, medium acidity and a fairly long length.

Negatives: Too sweet for me

Interesting Note: It seems like every second year Rodney Strong puts out a subpar Pinot, this vintage is it.

Drink now or in the next 2 years on its own or pair it with duck paté

Tasted: 4 Jan 2015

Score: 8.5/10, Value: 8.5/10 Total: 17/20

Out of 5 stars, I rated this wine: 3.5

Perhaps waited too long.
We drink lots of Pinot noir.
Heavy, can taste the alcohol, does not taste like PN
